On Mother's Day they handed these flowers out after church to all the mothers. Mine above has lasted quite a while, carnations do that.
So have you heard the latest marketing slogan, it's BOGO, meaning buy one get one free. Our language is changing and fast!
Hope you are enjoying your long weekend if you live in Canada.
Great flower. Not much BOGO over here! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYou put the carnation in the perfect vase - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe got little potted roses at our village- event on mother's day and they are fairly pretty and blooming well.
We not often get"BOGO" offerings here in Austria - we would say KEKE in German-lol. But we have many English terms meanwhile in our Austrian German here. So I think they would call it BOGO here as well.---
Happy day!
Hugs, Susi
We have the same tradition in our church on Mothers' Day.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Carnations are such a sweet and beautiful flower. They remind me of my first corsage that I received.

Lovely carnation - lovely gesture by your church.

OH BOGO has been a saying for a long while here in the states but you are correct the langauage is forever changing.
